As a DD id go with the R8, AWD, VERY comfortable and you can find a lightly pre-owned one for 90-100K easily

i wouldn't even put a 63 amg blk on the same line with GTR, the 63blk is a nicer car. However, i don't think it'll be a good daily drive. Personally a car like 63blk , i would keep it as a 2nd car. R8 will be a better dd, but since i always have bad luck with Audi, so can't say much about it.

for 100k budget, why don't u look into porsches? also other AMGs might be more common, but will be a better dd.

Well the E63 is a huge four door sedan (Well ok not huge) and the CL is a GT car. the GTR is a great car but can be a little underwhelming as a WOW factor. for Porsche? 911 C4S is a great car! for the amgs? SL63, or a CLK63 is a good car. In the end see how they drive. If your serious most dealers will be more than willing to let you drive one

r8 as a DD. No questions about it. To be honest tho, it's really about which of the three you prefer and makes you happy to drive! Its a feeling, nobody can replicate for you

Out of all the cars you posted the CLK BLK is the best, however it's not a good daily driver.

Have you considered a 997 Turbo??

This would have to be on the list???

You can always go Doppelkupplungschaltgetriebe lol PDK is a paddle shifter version. I always laugh at that word...

I don think r8 is a good dd. You will scrape every time you drive up a ramp. The clutch will also not like the ny traffic.

Clk 63 is the best choice. It's also got back seats (if you don't go for blk series).

Gtr looks and sounds like a typical Japanese car. While performance is good, I don't think it will impress any one over 30 yo.

A 911 with pdk would be your other choice.

The front bumper isnt that bad, also it has front end lift I have driven my buddies for a good 3 weeks in the boston area and it was a R-Tronic, and as long as you bump it into N when your sitting its just fine. CLK63 s a great car but compared to the other ones its abit... mundane.. and i think not really in the same class as the other cars (unless its the BS but that can be a little uncompromising. the thing I have about the 911TT is that while its a amazing performer it doesnt give me the WOW feeling. The R8 does, as does the GTR (more so than the 911) but once again as it has been echoed by many its your call and your money, drive em and see what u like!

if i would go with the clk it would only be the black series i feel like your right about the gtr idk i just feel like i would like the clk63 bs out of all of them and honestly i dont need back seats i dont really travel with more than one person and in my 650 no one can sit behind me anyway because i am 6'3 and my seat touches the back seat lol also i am only 20 and i feel like the r8 might be too much and i think the clk63 bs looks better than the gtr
